You can also use a VPN gateway to send traffic between VNets.

VNet Peering provides a low latency, high bandwidth connection useful in scenarios such as cross-region data replication and database failover scenarios. Since traffic is completely private and remains on the Microsoft backbone, customers with strict data policies prefer to use VNet Peering as public internet is not involved. Since there is no gateway in the path, there are no extra hops, ensuring low latency connections. @@ -39,9 +39,10 @@ VPN Gateways provide a limited bandwidth connection and is useful in scenarios w ## VNet Peering and VPN Gateways can also co-exist via gateway transit Gateway transit enables you to use a peered VNet’s gateway for connecting to on-premises instead of creating a new gateway for connectivity. As you increase your workloads in Azure, you need to scale your networks across regions and VNets to keep up with the growth. Gateway transit allows you to share an ExpressRoute or VPN gateway with all peered VNets and lets you manage the connectivity in one place. Sharing enables cost-savings and reduction in management overhead. + With gateway transit enabled on VNet peering, you can create a transit VNet that contains your VPN gateway, Network Virtual Appliance, and other shared services. As your organization grows with new applications or business units and as you spin up new VNets, you can connect to your transit VNet with VNet peering. This prevents adding complexity to your network and reduces management overhead of managing multiple gateways and other appliances. -To learn more about the powerful and unique functionality of gateway transit, refer to our blog post "Create a transit VNet using VNet peering." +To learn more about the powerful and unique functionality of gateway transit, refer to our blog post ["Create a transit VNet using VNet peering."](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/create-a-transit-vnet-using-vnet-peering/) ## Differences between VNet Peering and VPN Gateways
